Jugs N Strokers claims to be Merrick's "Coyote Ugly," and could easily pull it off simply with its decor of motorcycle gas tanks, sun-glassed men with handlebar mustaches, gorgeous women dancing on the bar and bad-ass flag-banners. However, the staff was quick to mention that the roadside rest is not entirely crazy, but simply a really good place to relax, have a drink and listen to some classic rock for locals of all ages. It's generally a very open space with a large bar taking center stage, a pool table and a small lounge area with a few arm chairs and a fireplace off to the side. The kitchen serves up cheap eats to cure the most voracious of appetites at any hour of the night.
